I'm with Hanna on the low key but suspect she likes the other two just fine.

I wouldnt call the first one lowkey more just a black background. Could have worked witha hair light.

With a little tighter crop id love the middle one. Fyi you can see your attepts to lighted the background with the brush tool

Yeah don't use the brush to adjust the background, a tip I learned off LisaJH is to use the quick selector tool and then refine the edge. It'll do a much better job around the hair and you won't end up with the "pasted on" look.

For what it's worth, she has lovely cheek bones but you're lighting her face very flat, especially in #1 and #3. This is very unflattering for her face shape and makes it look rounder than it actually is. Experiment with the lighting angles to try and show the natural contours of her face.

Thanks!

Hmm could you highlight where you're seeing this? It might be me having a bad monitor. I'm not sure where this brush is coming through. thanks in advance

In the second image, all around her hands in the hair the backgorund looks grey, same as the small section of hair next to her lipstick.

It's no biggie though, just something to watch out for :)
